What is a "haiku"?
A haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines with a specific syllable pattern: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. Haikus often focus on nature, seasonal changes, or fleeting moments, capturing a deep emotion or insight in a concise manner. This form emphasizes simplicity and clarity, using vivid imagery and minimal language to evoke feelings and provoke thought. Haikus invite readers to pause and reflect on the beauty of the world, making them a popular choice for poets seeking to express profound ideas in a compact structure.
